Friday is Presidential Election Day in Ireland. What was a ho-hum electoral season got overheated when the campaign of Jim Gavin, a Gaelic football legend turned political neanderfuck and one of only three candidates on the ballot, imploded at the 11th hour over news that he’d screwed a former tenant out of overpaid rent 16 years ago.
Irish campaigns are a whole lot shorter than we’re used to stateside: The presidential ballot wasn’t finalized until late September. But that still left time for Gavin to commit a passel of gaffes.
